They're never too old to crate. It'll be more difficult, but will be much easier on him and you than it currently is.

With patience & consistantcy you can crate train a dog of any age. I crate train all of the rescues I've taken in over the years regardless of age.

You might want to have the vet check him out to rule out any physical problems, too.
Good luck!
